Whole Cake Island Saga/Arc
The Vinsmoke and Charlotte families formed a political alliance after Sanji left the Germa Kingdom to start a new life in the East Blue. As a part of this agreement, the marriage between the third son of the Vinsmoke Family and the 35th daughter of the Charlotte Family was arranged to unite the two bloodlines of the two families.
However, the wedding was not held until thirteen years later because the Vinsmoke Family was unable to locate their third son, Sanji, who had been living in Baratie and kept a low profile. Sanji was able to return to his homeland thanks to the connections of the Big Mom Pirates, particularly after Capone Bege threatened him with the repercussions of his mentor’s gruesome murder for declining to attend the wedding. The Germa Kingdom started gradually converging on Lake Aprico on Whole Cake Island prior to the wedding.
A few days before the wedding, Sanji traveled back to his homeland, where he met his father, younger brother, and sister for the first time in 13 years. Judge urged Sanji to settle their differences through battle after rejecting both Yonji and Reiju’s efforts to persuade him to accept the planned marriage. After the duel, which concluded in a courtyard outside the Vinsmoke castle, Judge told Sanji why they had allied with Big Mom, and Reiju attached exploding wristlets that would explode Sanji’s arms to force him to cooperate with the wedding.
The day before the wedding, Vinsmoke Ichiji and Niji completed their assignment on Broc Coli Island and then left the Germa Kingdom. While dining in their throne room, the reunited Vinsmokes started talking about politics, but the conversation rapidly turned into a fight between Sanji and the other members of the family. After the meal, Sanji found out that Cosette (the head of the culinary staff for the royal household) was severely beaten inside the castle. Sanji, who vowed to exact revenge on Niji, ran across Yonji, who showed him the location of the facility housing Germa 66’s clone army, and they were soon joined by Ichiji and Niji, who then attacked Sanji along with Yonji.
After the attack, Reiju found a beaten Sanji in the lab. Before taking Sanji to his room, she gave the Germa scientists the instruction to leave him in her care. The entire royal family was greeted by their cheering citizens as they left for Whole Cake Chateau for the pre-wedding gift exchange ceremony after Reiju had attended to Sanji’s wounds.
Later on, it is revealed that the wedding was all a part of Big Mom’s scheme to kill the Vinsmoke Family in order to gain access to the kingdom’s cloning technology. However, the Vinsmokes (apart from Sanji) were able to successfully flee back to their country after the assassination plan was foiled during the wedding ceremony. Nusstorte’s squad tried to catch up with them, but they were completely defeated, and soon, Ichiji gave the order for Germa’s ships to depart after Niji duped Mont-d’Or into disclosing the whereabouts of the Straw Hats.
A few hours later, the Big Mom Pirates’ fleet surrounding Cacao Island was attacked by the forces of Germa Kingdom, which allowed Luffy and Sanji to escape. Judge directed his men to attack the pursuers at sea while his children attacked the army on land.
After ensuring their safety aboard the Sunny, Judge attempted to understand what Luffy saw in Sanji, whom he believed to be a useless failure. He was displeased when Luffy mistook his criticism for praise for the chef. The Vinsmoke siblings were hurt in the conflict with the Big Mom Pirates, who had brought anti-Germa bullets with them. The Big Mom Pirates prevailed ultimately as a result.
Germa 66 was getting ready to retreat when the Straw Hats finally left Totto Land. However, Big Mom reached Cacao Island before they could leave. Later on, the Germa Kingdom managed to escape from Whole Cake Island.
The World Government banished the Germa Kingdom after learning of their latest effort to join forces with the Big Mom Pirates.
Zeus Jabatan: Mitra (相棒, Aibō?, Viz: "Sidekick");[4] Senjata Hidup; Pelayan (bekas) "Zeus si Awan Petir" (雷雲のゼウス, Raiun no Zeusu?)[5]
Senjata Hidup; Pelayan (bekas)
Zeus si Awan Petir adalah homie yang menyatu dengan Sihir Clima-Tact Nami. Sebelum bergabung dengan Clima-Tact, dia dimiliki oleh Big Mom, yang akan memanggilnya dari tangan kirinya.[2] Karena terbuat dari fragmen jiwa dari Big Mom sendiri,[7] dia lebih kuat dari kebanyakan homies.
Dia diciptakan oleh Big Mom di masa mudanya, dan melayaninya dengan baik hingga dewasa sebagai salah satu senjata pribadinya bersama Prometheus dan Napoleon. Selama Bajak Laut Topi Jerami melarikan diri dari Totto Land, Zeus ditangkap oleh Topi Jerami dan dipaksa menjadi pelayan Nami.[8] Dia tinggal di dalam Sorcery Clima-Tact untuk waktu yang singkat sampai dia diklaim kembali oleh Big Mom di Negeri Wano.[3][9] Namun, Big Mom kemudian meninggalkan Zeus untuk selamanya setelah dia berjuang selama pertempuran di Onigashima, menggantikannya dengan homie lain bernama Hera. Dia berusaha untuk menghapus fragmen jiwanya darinya,[10] tapi dia selamat dari cobaan itu dengan secara permanen menyatu dengan Clima-Tact Nami sebagai Vessel.[11] Zeus kemudian bergabung dengan Nami selamanya, kali ini sebagai pasangannya.[4]
Zeus biasanya muncul sebagai awan besar dan berwarna terang. Ketika dia menyebabkan badai, dia menjadi gelap dan menghasilkan kilatan petir kuning (merah muda di anime saat dikendalikan oleh Big Mom, kuning di anime saat dikendalikan oleh Nami).[2] Dia juga memakai topi baseball bergaris merah dan biru (merah dan putih di anime) dengan pinggiran kuning di kepalanya.[1] Dia biasanya memiliki ekspresi riang dan mengantuk, tetapi dapat terlihat lebih menyeramkan.[12] Ketika dia awalnya dideskripsikan oleh Pound, dia tidak memiliki topi baseball dan sebagian besar fitur wajahnya.[2] Setelah diiris menjadi dua oleh Brook dan kemudian listriknya dikuras oleh Nami, ukuran Zeus sangat berkurang, cukup untuk dipegang dengan satu tangan, dan wajahnya cukup untuk menutupi sebagian besar tubuhnya.[13] Selama Penyerbuan di Onigashima, Zeus mengenakan helm kabuto biru saat dia muncul bersama Topi Jerami lainnya.[14]
Zeus sebagai Sihir Clima-Tact.
Setelah menyatu dengan Sorcery Clima-Tact Nami, wajah Zeus juga dapat muncul di tengah gagang Sorcery Clima-Tact, mempertahankan ekspresi tolol dengan tanda memerah. Wajahnya juga dapat dipindahkan ke pelengkap oranye di akhir Clima-Tact setiap kali dia membuatnya tumbuh, dan dia juga dapat mentransfer kesadarannya ke fenomena cuaca yang diciptakan oleh Clima-Tact.[11] Namun, ia terus mengambil bentuk awannya.[15][16]

Sebagai salah satu senjata pribadinya, Zeus sangat setia kepada Big Mom dan akan mendatanginya saat dia memanggilnya. Zeus juga tampaknya peduli dengan keselamatan warga di Totto Land dan benci melihat mereka tersiksa selama amukan Big Mom, tetapi tidak seperti sesama homiesnya, Zeus tahu sia-sia untuk mencoba dan berunding dengan Big Mom ketika dia sedang mengamuk.[2]
Namun, terlepas dari kesetiaannya, Zeus berbagi kerakusannya yang ekstrim dan sangat menikmati makan awan petir. Zeus bersedia untuk tidak mematuhi perintah langsung dari Big Mom selama Nami terus memberinya makan awan petir. Namun, dia mampu bernalar dan belajar dari kesalahannya, karena dia menjadi sangat marah saat Nami mencoba memberinya makan lagi, meski amarahnya membuatnya terbuka untuk menyerang.[8] Kesetiaannya kepada Big Mom tidak datang sebelum menghargai nyawanya sendiri, seperti ketika Big Mom memerintahkan Hera untuk memakannya, dia memohon untuk diizinkan pergi dengan damai daripada menyerahkan kekuatan jiwanya kepada Hera. Dia melangkah lebih jauh untuk membantu Nami setelah merasa dikhianati oleh Big Mom, dan bersedia menyerang tuannya sebagai sarana permintaan maaf kepada Nami atas pengkhianatannya sebelumnya.[10]
Dia juga sangat riang, karena setelah dia menjadi pelayan Nami, dia dengan mudah menerimanya dan merasa nyaman untuk disimpan di dalam Clima-Tact miliknya.
Organisasi dan Pangkat
Hirarki Baroque Works, seperti yang dijelaskan oleh Nefertari Vivi.
Sebagai pimpinan Baroque Works, Crocodile menggunakan alias Tuan 0, dan juga memberi gelar kepada mitra utamanya (dan kepala staf yang efektif) Nico Robin Nona Sepanjang Minggu.[7] Skema penamaan ini diperluas melalui sindikat agen (エージェント, Ējento?), sekitar dua lusin bawahan yang menonjol dan cukup kuat untuk menerima perintah langsung dari Crocodile:
Agen-agen diorganisasikan ke dalam dua belas tim pria-wanita (kecuali Tuan 2 Bon Kurei, seorang okama yang secara efektif diizinkan untuk bertindak sebagai rekannya sendiri), biasanya dengan penekanan pada keterampilan pelengkap. Tim-tim ini selanjutnya dibagi sepanjang dua subkategori:
Namun, sebagian besar anggota Baroque Works terdiri dari prajurit biasa yang ditugaskan sebagai bawahan agen: 200 Billions (ビリオンズ, Birionzu?) untuk Agen Perwira, dan 1.800 Millions (ミリオンズ, Mirionzu?) untuk Agen Perbatasan.[7] Mereka diberi nama sandi yang lebih eklektik (Miss Catherina, Mr. Love, dll.) dan diperlakukan lebih sekali pakai, meski pekerjaan mereka kadang-kadang mendekati pekerjaan agen dalam hal kompleksitas dan kepentingan.[8][9]
Anggota dapat dipromosikan ke kategori dan pangkat yang lebih tinggi setelah pencapaian besar dan/atau kekosongan jabatan (lebih baik jika berakibat fatal). Hal ini mendorong upaya yang lebih besar dari banyak pihak—terutama Miliaran, yang dianggap sebagai kandidat langsung untuk menjadi agen—tetapi juga banyak permusuhan internal, terkadang meningkat menjadi pembunuhan langsung.[10]
Selain personel konvensional, Baroque Works juga mempekerjakan sejumlah hewan dalam peran khusus:
[Klik di sini untuk melihat simbol legend yang digunakan][Sembunyikan legend]
Baroque Works didirikan oleh Shichibukai Crocodile dengan tujuan menggulingkan kerajaan Alabasta demi mencari keberadaan senjata kuno "Pluton". Dalam rencananya Crocodile menggunakan kekuatannya untuk menciptakan kekeringan yang panjang di Alabasta dan menyebarkan fitnah yang menuduh raja Alabasta, Nefertari Cobra menyembunyikan "Dance Powder", bubuk pencipta hujan untuk kepentingan keluarga kerajaan sendiri dan membiarkan rakyatnya mati dalam kekeringan.
Kemudian putri raja, Nefertari Vivi dan penasehatnya Igaram menyamar menjadi agen BW demi menyelidiki dalang dibalik kerusuhan di negeri mereka. Setelah empat tahun, Crocodile memutuskan menuntaskan misinya di Alabasta dalam suatu rencana yang dinamakan "Rencana Utopia". Namun rencana itu berhasil digagalkan Bajak Laut Topi Jerami yang datang membantu teman baik mereka putri Nefertari Vivi. Crocodile dan beberapa agen lainnya ditangkap Angkatan Laut untuk dikirim ke penjara Impel Down. Dengan demikian akhirnya Baroque Works secara resmi dibubarkan.
Masalah Terjemahan dan Dubbing
Semua terjemahan bahasa Inggris profesional—4Kids, Viz, dan Funimation—mengubah gelar "Miss" agen wanita menjadi Ms. yang lebih modern. Selain itu, semua meromanisasi bagian "Bon Kurei" dari nama sandi Mr. 2 menjadi Bon Clay, mungkin salah mengartikannya sebagai nama sebenarnya alih-alih referensi hari raya.
Uniknya, anime 4Kids selanjutnya mengubah sebagian besar nama sandi hari libur untuk mengecilkan hubungannya dengan budaya Jepang: "All-Sunday" menjadi Sunday saja, "Doublefinger" menjadi New Year's Eve, "Goldenweek" menjadi April Fools Day, dan "Merry Christmas" menjadi Groundhog Day.
Sound of heavy stomps
Issho, better known by his alias Fujitora, is an Admiral in the Marines.[3] Once the captain of a guard force in the former Aoi Kingdom,[4] he was conscripted through a World Military Draft during the two-year timeskip, being appointed to fill one of the Admiral vacancies caused by Kuzan's resignation and Sakazuki's promotion alongside his co-worker Ryokugyu.[9] A proponent of "Humane Justice", Fujitora notably spearheaded a campaign for the abolishment of the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" system,[10] which came to pass during the most recent Levely.[11]
Fujitora was first mentioned by Sakazuki when the latter was discussing plans to deal with Monkey D. Luffy and Trafalgar Law on Dressrosa.[2] His following mission and actions on Dressrosa made him the first Admiral to physically appear post-timeskip and the secondary antagonist of the Dressrosa Arc.
Issho, known by the alias Fujitora, carries the code name that translates to 'Wisteria Tiger'. The creator preferred this name for its cool sound over other purple-related options. Fujitora, a blind admiral in One Piece, wields a shikomizue, a katana concealed in a cane, as his primary weapon.
Fujitora's sword in One Piece is a unique Meito, a katana housed within a cane that also serves as his walking stick. Despite being a blind admiral, he uses Kenbunshoku Haki to compensate for his blindness in battle. He channels his gravity powers through his sword, which he wields in a reverse-grip style. He also infuses Haki into his sword, turning it obsidian-black and enhancing its strength to defend against formidable attacks.
Issho, widely known as Fujitora, is a strong proponent for ending the Seven Warlords of the Sea system. He holds the view that this system frequently enables ruthless pirates who are unreliable. This belief drove him to conspire with kings Riku Doldo III of Dressrosa and Nefertari Cobra of Arabasta to dismantle the system. Fujitora expressed satisfaction upon the system's dissolution.
Fujitora is a blind man with only the whites of his eyes showing, though he usually keeps both eyes closed. He has an X-shaped scar centered on the left side of his forehead that stretches over both eyes, which was actually self-inflicted due to his decision to blind himself.[12] He has short dark hair, a mustache, and a beard.[1] He seems to be very tall, a trait shared with other Admirals.[3]
Like other Admirals, Fujitora sports the standard Marine coat with his personal clothes underneath, wearing the coat on his shoulders like a cape with his arms not in the sleeves. His sleeves' cuffs are purple. While previous admirals and other high-ranked Marines wear the conventional suit and tie underneath their Marine coats, Fujitora opts for a light-purple yukata held up with a dark purple belt, all underneath a purple cloak, matching the color in his alias. Fujitora wields a shikomizue (a Japanese swordstick) that doubles as a cane for his blindness, and also wears geta sandals. He has white bandages wrapped around both of his forearms, with handguards on both hands.[3]
In One Piece Film: Red, Fujitora wears a gray yukata and more muted purple cloak, with a Marine coat that has both its cuffs and insides purple.

Fujitora is a virtuous and benevolent man who puts great emphasis on doing the right thing while preventing misfortune for others. He detests evil to such a strong degree that he blinded himself on purpose, inflicting damage on his eyes out of sorrow for all the evil he had seen,[12] with him stating in Dressrosa that not having sight is a blessing.[13] His Justice motto as a Marine is "Humane Justice" (仁義ある正義, Jingi aru Seigi?, VIZ: "Virtuous Justice").[6] His primary goal is to protect people, telling a subordinate that it is more important to take into account the number of lives to protect rather than the number of enemies against them.[3] He takes care to never put innocent civilians in harm's way during conflict and will try to avoid causing collateral damage with his attacks; when he does inflict such damage, he makes sure to compensate the owner of the involved property. Fujitora will make the effort to keep civilians away from harm even when he himself is not involved in the proceedings, including doing things such as protecting them from the collateral damage of other fights and even proactively calling for extra medics to come to the Corrida Colosseum in the likely event that spectators were harmed by the combatants' attacks. As a result of his desire to protect civilians, Fujitora is proactive about hunting down and capturing pirates and other criminals. He will not step outside his bounds to do so, as shown when he came to the Corrida Colosseum which was a safe zone for criminals, but he did plot with his subordinates to arrest the criminals competing there as soon as they exited the arena's confines.[3]
Fujitora's desire to eliminate evil also extends to rooting out corruption within the Marines and World Government. Events in Arabasta in particular drove him to question the government's choices and judgment, especially regarding the use of the Seven Warlords of the Sea as a check against pirates and criminals. Experience made Fujitora believe to his core that the Warlord system often resulted in brutal and tyrannical pirates terrorizing people, shipping arms, and committing murder under the blanket of government immunity, or worse, endorsement. He held out hope that ending the system would result in better outcomes for eliminating piracy and evil, despite its perceived threat to the balance of the Three Great Powers.[10]
Humility and responsibility run deep within Fujitora, as he is willing to accept blame for his shortcomings, along with those of the Marines and World Government. Fujitora refuses to take credit for things he did not do and is disturbed by the idea of the World Government using his image and authority to shape a narrative about world events to their own benefit. This sense of honor is so strong that he is willing to prostrate himself before King Riku Doldo III, along with his troops, to apologize for the harm and havoc of Doflamingo's actions within Riku's kingdom, and broadcasting said apology to neighboring islands.[15] His honourable nature has created tension and conflict with peers and superiors, as Fleet Admiral Sakazuki was stunned and furious with Fujitora over his apology to Riku, and their values as Marines clashed in opposition. Sakazuki, incensed and enraged, believed that Fujitora's actions had caused the Marines' reputation, and Justice by extension, to be shamed, since an Admiral had made an irrefutable declaration that the government failed in its duty. In response, Fujitora lost his composure, disgusted at the idea that admitting fault was shaming Justice. His scathing response to Sakazuki, is one of the few times his normal calm and dispassionate manner is replaced with righteous fury and anger.[16]
While just and honorable, Fujitora has himself admitted a need for pragmatic action, and has aligned himself with parties he opposes on multiple occasions for the sake of protecting the innocent. Pragmatism drove many of his actions during his time in Dressrosa; at first, despite his opposition to the Seven Warlords system and suspicion over Doflamingo's activities, Fujitora agreed to aid the Warlord in opposing the Straw Hat Pirates for the sake of protecting Dressrosa's populace.[10] However, he later changed his mind after Doflamingo trapped Dressrosa in his "Birdcage", as he believed that the Straw Hats stood the best chance of saving Dressrosa as well as showing the failure of the Seven Warlords system.[17][18][16] In both instances, he made clear that he would pursue the downfall of both the Donquixote and Straw Hat Pirates after the necessity of working with them came to an end.[19] Additionally, Fujitora will uphold the letter of the law for the World Government, even if he does not care for it, such as letting Caesar Clown go free due to being the subordinate of a Warlord.[20] While he will obey his superiors' command in most instances, Fujitora has been known to exploit loopholes as he sees fit, such as when he went to Mary Geoise while being banned from going to Marine bases and invoking the loophole when notified of Sakazuki's disapproval.[21]
Fujitora prioritising freedom over his duty as an Admiral.
Just as he does not hesitate to pinpoint and work against evil deeds in the Marines and World Government, Fujitora also has no issue with acknowledging good deeds done by pirates and other criminals. He has been blunt with stating that the World Government was to blame for Doflamingo's atrocities whereas Luffy, a pirate, was the hero of Dressrosa. When the Dressrosa citizens got in the way of his pursuit of the Straw Hats, Fujitora recognized the honesty and good intentions of Luffy towards the civilians.[16] In fact, Luffy's attitude and actions amused and interested Fujitora so much he felt regret blinding himself, as he wondered what Luffy might look like; he even thanked the pirate for saving Dressrosa.[12] A few days earlier, when Luffy had exposed the Donquixote Pirates' cheating at roulette against Fujitora, the Admiral was appreciative of his kind deed and declined to exchange introductions so that he might remain ignorant of who helped him should their positions result in conflict.[22] Luffy is also one of the few people known to make Fujitora laugh. In addition, Fujitora may choose to not relentlessly pursue people who are considered enemies of the Marines if they do not pose a threat to innocents, especially if doing so would threaten further lives around them, or if there are more pressing matters at hand.[18] Notably, he permitted the Revolutionary Army to escape Mary Geoise with liberated slaves, preferring to spare them from their horrible fate under the World Nobles than fulfil his duty to the World Government.[23]
Despite his desire to prevent collateral damage, Fujitora has been shown to use tremendous displays of force against opponents, attempting to demoralize and terrify foes at the start of battles and gauge their strength at the same time. While confronting Trafalgar Law alongside Doflamingo, Fujitora immediately started the fight by summoning a large meteor to strike their location, saying it was only a "little test".[20] When Doflamingo's thugs tried attacking him and Luffy after their swindling was exposed, Fujitora immediately chose to send them to "hell" and slam them deep into the ground with his gravity.[13] However, Fujitora's displays of force can at times be reckless beyond belief, as best shown when he summoned another meteor during his fight with Sabo only to have it sliced apart by Doflamingo's "Birdcage" and destroy more of the surrounding area than he intended.[24] Additionally, his attempt to summon a meteor against the Straw Hats on the Thousand Sunny whilst also piloting a battleship through the air led to the meteor being redirected and striking his ship. However, even when he encounters a bad situation, Fujitora has been shown keeping his calm, at worst only getting flustered. In the aforementioned battleship attack, Fujitora was shown sitting calmly and eating noodles even when the crew's counterattack put the rest of his subordinates in a panic,[25] and he remained calm throughout Doflamingo's Birdcage game despite the mass hysteria inflicted, even putting his trust in others to resolve the great problem without hesitation.[18]
Fujitora loves to gamble and play casino games, having been shown playing roulette in his first appearance and making big wagers including going all-in in the last round he played.[26] In fact, his obsession with gambling is at such a point that he has been shown to treat life the same way as a game of chance, having made allusions to betting and rolling dice when speaking of the conflict in Dressrosa and showing a great reverence for the forces of fate. Most notably, he treated his trust in the Straw Hat Pirates to take down Doflamingo as simply another one of his bets, though with the stakes now being life or death rather than monetary.[18] Later, when faced with the choice of whether or not to follow his orders to go after the Straw Hats and Law, a choice with merits on each side, Fujitora decided to make this decision by rolling a die and assigning an outcome based on where it landed. When the die's outcome had him leave Luffy alone for two consecutive days despite the low odds, Fujitora stated that something was certainly on the pirate's side.[19]
Fujitora laughs at Luffy's absurd behavior in battle.
Fujitora acts as a humble and quiet man in conversation, as shown when he downplayed Doflamingo's words of praise for his abilities when the two of them first met.[20] Additionally, despite his great status, his casual mannerisms are no different than a normal older blind man, and many of the people who saw him at Dressrosa did not know who he was.[22] However, during combat he is shown to take pride in his status as a Marine Admiral and his reputation as a "monster", hating it when people take pity on him due to his blindness. When Luffy informed him of the attacks he would perform ahead of time during their battle and explained that it was out of respect for the admiral's character, Fujitora briefly lost composure and started laughing, though also expressed disappointment at the pirate's illogical behavior.[12] Fujitora is also prideful when it comes to upholding his morals, as he refused to apologize to Sakazuki for his actions following the Dressrosa conflict even though Sengoku said such an apology would likely be enough to get his punishment lifted.[27]
Although aware of the great evil in the world, Fujitora has shown himself to be quite trusting and thus will typically accept anyone's answer to events he is unsure of due to his blindness.[20] This was best shown when he was willing to believe Doflamingo's thugs when they told him where the roulette ball landed, allowing them to nearly swindle him out of all his money. However, if tipped off that he is being tricked, he will respond with terrifying force upon those who trick him.[26] Fujitora's willingness to give people the benefit of the doubt even extends to his interactions with pirates, as he gave Law the opportunity to inform him that the Straw Hats were his subordinates, despite those around him knowing that that was not the case. Additionally, although he brought up the suspicions, he had regarding Doflamingo committing illegal activities in secret, Fujitora had no intention of pressing the Warlord over it before investigating further.[20]
As an Admiral of the Marines, Fujitora is deeply respected within the organization. He has compassion for his subordinates, and many Marines, including Vice Admirals Bastille and Maynard, hold strong respect for Fujitora. When several Marines fell under the control of Doflamingo's Parasite technique, Fujitora opted to use his gravity powers to restrain them, rather than using lethal force to stop them. Fujitora prostrating before King Riku to apologize for the World Government's irresponsibility prompted his Marines to follow suit, which was a strong contrast to Sakazuki's concern about the Marines' dignity.
He seems to be trusted by Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, who sent him to deal with the Straw Hat Pirates' and Heart Pirates' alliance, with the two captains of the groups being a notorious pirate and a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea respectively. Sakazuki even apologized to Fujitora when he informed him about Donquixote Doflamingo's false resignation from the Seven Warlords of the Sea.[28]
However, Sakazuki became furious when Fujitora admitted that the Straw Hat Pirates defeated Doflamingo and apologized on his knees on behalf of the Marines in full view of the world. He demanded that Fujitora do his job to kill Luffy and Law, threatening to make sure no Marine base would allow him in until the task was done. Fujitora, who was disgusted at the actions of the Marines until now—including but not limited to the World Government attempting to give credit to the Marines for Crocodile's defeat and turning a blind eye to Doflamingo's actions in Dressrosa–told Sakazuki that he was honored to fulfill his orders.[16] Fujitora refuses to apologize to Sakazuki for their heated argument out of a deep sense of honor, despite Sengoku suggesting that it would make Sakazuki forgive him.[27] Given Luffy's new position of Emperor, it is unknown if Sakazuki's initial demand, of Fujitora arresting Luffy and Law, still stands.
In spite of their tense standing, Sakazuki does trust Fujitora enough to keep him updated on current events such as the dissolution of the Seven Warlords of the Sea system and the alliance between Kaidou and Big Mom. Fujitora even gave assurance that the new SSG will balance things out.[11]
Smoker talks to Issho about the problems with the Seven Warlords of the Sea system.
Fujitora also seems to be close to Smoker, who also shares his belief that the Seven Warlords of the Sea system should be abolished. Smoker and Tashigi praised Fujitora for not allowing the incident with Doflamingo in Dressrosa to be covered up like it was with Crocodile in Arabasta.[16]
Fujitora and Sengoku seem to be amicable towards each other. Sengoku reveals he knows Fujitora purposely allowed Luffy and Law to escape and defeated the pirates menacing them. He chooses not to report it and notes Sakazuki would forgive him if he apologized. He respects Fujitora's refusal to heed his advice and seems to be amused when the Admiral goes to Mary Geoise despite Sakazuki's outrage.
Fujitora and Aramaki appear to be on good terms as Ryokugyu disregarded Sakazuki's orders to drive Fujitora out of Mary Geoise and instead had a friendly conversation with his fellow admiral despite not sharing at all the same vision of justice, for Ryokugyu does see the World Nobles as gods, and is more than willing to do whatever it takes to complete his mission, in vain similar to Sakazuki. During the Levely, however, Ryokugyu became annoyed with Fujitora when he tried to summon a meteor in the Holy Land, which would have endangered everyone present, particularly the World Nobles. When he ends up helping several slaves escape with the Revolutionary Army, Ryokugyu turns on him and they start fighting.[23]
Despite technically being a servant of the government, Fujitora despises the World Government and their actions beyond words. This was made apparent during Doflamingo's Birdcage game, as Fujitora noted how the government continues to ignore the citizen's cries when they are truly in trouble and that even if he, a Marine Admiral, arrests Doflamingo, then the government could cover the ordeal as they did in Arabasta.[17] Not wanting them to cover it up like before, Fujitora humiliated the government by bowing before Riku Doldo III and giving a heartfelt apology on their behalf, heading off the lies before the nobility could act. This action infuriated the Five Elders, and Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, putting Fujitora's title and reputation as admiral in jeopardy.[16] Fujitora also showed indirect defiance against the World Nobles by letting the slaves escape during the Revolutionary Army's invasion on Mary Geoise when Fujitora is not truly loyal towards Celestial Dragons.[23]
Despite the fact that the Seven Warlords of the Sea were on the World Government's side, Fujitora (much like Smoker) believed that the Seven Warlords of the Sea were nothing more than pirates who could not be trusted and aimed to abolish the Seven Warlords of the Sea's system,[10] which came into fruition after colluding with kings Riku Doldo III of Dressrosa and Nefertari Cobra of Arabasta.[29] It is unknown if he has had interactions with any other former Warlords other than Doflamingo in his capacity as an Admiral, or prior to joining the Marines.
After the dissolution of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Fujitora seemed pleased to learn this.[11]
As a Marine, he views pirates as enemies, although he is more flexible than most Marines and is able to look past them and see their good qualities. He was willing to acknowledge Luffy's character for his help with the swindlers and felt obligated to fight him because he considered it "biting the hand that feeds him". However, he puts the civilians' safety above the pirates' arrest. When he realized that he was being cheated by some of Doflamingo's underlings, he quickly took care of them.[13]
Luffy faces Fujitora as he tries to reach Doflamingo.
Despite being enemies, Luffy helped Fujitora when Doflamingo's thugs were cheating due to his blindness, and he even thanked Luffy for his kindness. However, during Doflamingo's Birdcage game, Fujitora was going to hinder Luffy and his allies from reaching Doflamingo, but he was stopped by Sabo. He then allowed Luffy to defeat Doflamingo. During the Straw Hat Pirates and allies' escape, Fujitora fought against Luffy until they escaped, to which he was taken aback by the latter admitting that he likes him. When Fujitora attempted to drop the rubble on Luffy, he was stopped by the cheering citizens of Dressrosa and decided to let Luffy go. Seeing how the citizens tried to help Luffy, Fujitora smiled and admitted that he should not have blinded himself because he wanted to see what Luffy's face looks like. When Doflamingo's business associates attempted to kill Luffy, Fujitora dropped the rubble on the enemy fleet as a farewell gift for Luffy and thanked him for cleaning up the World Government's mess. Luffy remains one of the few people in the series so far who has made him laugh.
Despite having been sent to help him, Fujitora was mistrustful of Doflamingo as soon as he met him, having heard rumors of Doflamingo's illegal activities which contributed to his desire to end the Seven Warlords of the Sea system. He made it clear to Doflamingo that he was helping him in order to protect Dressrosa, namely its citizens, from Luffy and Law rather than out of a desire to help the Warlord of the Sea himself. When he and Doflamingo confronted Law, Fujitora showed little regard for Doflamingo when he called down a meteor onto the scene, and he openly talked about Doflamingo's suspicious activities and his own desire to end the Seven Warlords of the Sea system, which annoyed the Warlord of the Sea and even caused him to attack the admiral once. Although Fujitora is an admiral, Doflamingo acted cocky around him, expecting Fujitora to help him against Luffy and Law no matter the situation and even believing that he could dispose of the admiral once he trapped everyone in the Birdcage. When Doflamingo's illegal activities were eventually put on full display, Fujitora did not go after the Warlord of the Sea, as he did not want the World Government to fix a problem that they themselves had created. He went after Doflamingo's enemies for a brief period of time during this, but later stopped going after Luffy and Law and bet on them to stop Doflamingo. Once Doflamingo was defeated, Fujitora had the Warlord of the Sea arrested immediately. For refusing to assist him against both Luffy and Law, Doflamingo called Fujitora as an "idiot".
Due to being an officer in the Marines, he is an enemy of the Revolutionary Army. As such, he and his battalion engaged Sabo when he impeded their capture of Luffy. He personally clashed with Dragon's second-in-command. Despite this opposition, he confesses to Sabo it is not possible for the Marines to stop Doflamingo, and leaves the Heavenly Demon's defeat to the pirates. When speaking to Sabo about Luffy being his brother, Fujitora paused for a moment when Sabo mentioned how he never wanted to let another one of his brothers die again then responding in a respectful manner showing consideration toward the young man's pain and desire to protect those closest to him. However, they later have another confrontation at the Levely when Sabo and his comrades attempted to rescue Bartholomew Kuma from his enslavement by the World Nobles.[30] However, when the Revolutionaries rescued many slaves, Fujitora permitted them to escape.
Fujitora has great respect for King Riku and made the same bet as him. After Doflamingo's defeat, Fujitora told him not to take responsibility and bowed down towards him to apologize for the World Government allowing a vicious pirate to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and take over Dressrosa. Riku asked Fujitora to raise his head until he found out the reason Fujitora couldn't attack Doflamingo at the palace. Fujitora claimed this is not the Marines' victory. They apparently have maintained cordial relations as Fujitora requested to have a private conversation with him before the Levely commences.
Fujitora has great respect for King Cobra due to him sending a secret letter requesting a private conversation between him, Riku Doldo III of Dressrosa and the Admiral himself.

Abilities and Powers[]
As an Admiral, Fujitora has command over the thousands of Marines ranked beneath him, his status being just below the Fleet Admiral's. Among other things, he holds the authority to call out battleships however he sees fit and to initiate a Buster Call on any island he deems a threat, as well as pass on to lower ranking government agents the same privilege.[31][32][33] Being the former military chief of Aoi, Issho once held full authority over the kingdom's army before its destruction, meaning he has prior experience as a commanding officer before the World Military Draft.[4]
Combat-wise, Fujitora (along with his fellow admirals) is thought to constitute the World Government's "Greatest Military Force",[31] making him one of the world's most powerful people. As noted by Doflamingo and himself, Fujitora and Ryokugyu are known as "powerful monsters" in the Marines.[20][34] Fleet Admiral Sakazuki had confidence in Fujitora's ability to deal with Monkey D. Luffy and Trafalgar Law, both members of the Worst Generation and the latter (at the time) a Warlord of the Sea.[2][35] From just a brief display of his powers, Fujitora earned the prompt admiration of Luffy, who could easily ascertain his strength.[22] Yet another such display sufficed to intimidate Law and even the normally unshakable Doflamingo.[20]
Greatly attesting to his power, Fujitora was able to fight Sabo—the Revolutionary Army's chief of staff and "No. 2" in strength, who had not long beforehand acquired a powerful Logia ability—to more or less a standstill, emerging from such fight without a scratch. By Sabo's own reckoning, Fujitora had not gone all out but merely stalled for time, due to not seeing his then-foe as a true enemy.[24][36][18] Additionally, with the presumed assistance of other powerful Marines (particularly Sengoku and Tsuru), Fujitora was able to hand a crushing defeat to Jack, a top commander of one of the Four Emperors with a bounty of 1,000,000,000, in a naval battle.[37]
Issho prepares to strike despite his blindness.
Despite being blind, Fujitora can handle himself in combat against some of the most powerful figures in the world, due to his other acute senses and Observation Haki.[38][24][36][18][39] Many who face him are shocked by his power, with Law noting that blindness is no hinderance to Fujitora's actions or abilities.[20] He has excellent hearing, having heard Nami's lightning from kilometers away when neither Doflamingo nor Law next to him did. He also stated that he is able to sense the movement of clouds.[40]
Fujitora's physical strength and fortitude are immense, befitting an admiral. He was able to defend against and repel powerful attacks from the likes of Roronoa Zoro, Sabo, and Luffy as well as clash with them (including the latter when using Gear 2 and Gear 3) with little to no visible effort.[38][36][39] He could also withstand a kick from Doflamingo without issue using his sword.[10] Incredibly resilient, Fujitora could guard against a Haki-imbued Gear 3 punch from Luffy without using his own Haki while remaining unhurt by the blow.[41]
Fujitora has extraordinary reflexes and, coupled with his skill in Observation Haki, can casually and precisely counter very swift and unexpected physical threats.[38][10][24][36][18] For example, he can time his defense against a self-summoned, meteorite falling at inhuman speed that with such precision, he can deflect a piece of it like pushing aside a piece of paper,[20] and warded off an unexpected "flying slash" from Zoro without a flinch or scratch.[38] When Doflamingo surprise-attacked him with a kick, the admiral showed no concern whilst blocking it.[10] The admiral's own movement speed is likewise impressive, as he could lunge forward to strike Luffy in their fight, being too quick for the pirate to react.[42]
Fujitora uses his sword and Devil Fruit powers to create a massive hole.
Fujitora possesses tremendous swordsmanship skills, which he combines with his Devil Fruit ability, channeling his gravity powers through his sword.[20][43] Usually, Fujitora wields his weapon in a reverse-grip style, the blade pointing in the direction opposite to his thumb. Despite his blindness, the admiral has shown to be extremely skilled with his blade, able to deflect or block incoming attacks, even extremely strong ones or surprise attacks, with little issue using simple parrying maneuvers, demonstrating lightning-fast dexterity all the while. Fujitora's swordsmanship, combined with his Devil Fruit powers, allowed him to repeatedly and evenly clash with Sabo wielding his flame-shrouded staff and exhibit no trouble in doing so.[20][38][10][24][36][39]
Fujitora uses his power to lift rubble.
Fujitora ate the Zushi Zushi no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to manipulate gravitational forces. The ability's range of effect can potentially span wide areas, even entire islands,[44] and is primarily channeled through the admiral's sword.
Fujitora can drastically increase the gravity around others, keeping them on the ground and making it difficult for them to move,[43][45] including extremely strong adversaries. He can increase the gravity acting on opponents to press them down under immense pressure, even going as far as to create large craters deep into the ground.[1][38] Fujitora can also control the direction of his gravity, allowing him to generate "horizontal" gravity to attack with a tremendous outward force.[36][39] Moreover, the admiral is able to employ his power defensively by making fields of seemingly reverse gravity to repel attacks.[20] He can also use the gravity to pull objects directly toward himself, with the field of gravity being capable of reaching (possibly) into outer space, which Fujitora has used multiple times to summon meteorites to strike his opponents.[20][46][25][24]
By negating gravity entirely, Fujitora can enact the controlled levitation of nonliving objects around him. He has been shown levitating a battleship to move himself and his men more quickly over the sea,[25] as well as floating a small rock to use as a personal mobile platform to stand and ride around on, achieving effective flight.[47]
As a Marine Admiral, Fujitora is a highly skilled Haki user.[48]
Fujitora imbuing his sword with Armament Haki.
Fujitora is a highly skilled user of Armament Haki, being able to clash head-on with Sabo, a Logia user who himself is proficient with this Haki.[49] Fujitora can focus a strong concentration of Haki into his sword, rendering it obsidian-black and strong enough to defend against the razor-sharp string bars of Doflamingo's Torikago, which can easily slice up cannonballs and stone buildings.[50]
Fujitora seeing the world through Observation Haki.
Fujitora possesses masterful skill in Observation Haki, which he uses to compensate for his blindness in battle, and his incredible skill gives him a strong sense of danger. He can accurately predict fast (and surprise) attacks from enemies, like an unexpected kick from Doflamingo, and generally handle combat against extremely strong, fast, and agile enemies without apparent difficulty.[20][38][10][24][36][18][39] Most notably, Fujitora is capable of perceiving living beings around him as images in his "mind's eye" (represented as colored, person-shaped auras on a dark background), in a way unimpaired by his blindness. Additionally, Fujitora has demonstrated the ability to read and hear the true thoughts and emotions of other people, which made him aware, for example, that the Dressrosa citizenry bore no ill will towards Luffy while "chasing" him out of their country.[51]
Fujitora's primary weapon is the Yakuza Kasen, a shikomizue and one of the 12 Supreme Grade Blades.[52] As a blind man, when he is not using his sword in battle, Fujitora prefers to use it as a walking cane.
Issho was born somewhere in the Grand Line 54 years ago.[6] At some point, he became the military chief of the Aoi Kingdom, serving in the position until the kingdom was destroyed by a war, during which he became a significant war criminal.[4] Possibly during this time, he blinded himself after seeing too many evil atrocities.[12]
Eventually, he traveled to Soja Island, where he incurred severe losses in a gambling house and was made to work as a bodyguard. Issho's strength caught the attention of the World Government, who bought the place he was working on for a large sum of money and drafted him into the Marines as part of their "World Military Draft", seemingly aware of his past as the military chief of the Aoi Kingdom.[4]
After being drafted, Issho was immediately promoted to fill one of the two vacant Admiral positions shortly after joining, alongside fellow newcomer Aramaki, and was assigned the alias "Fujitora".[20] Fujitora promptly decided to use his new position to campaign for the abolishment of the Seven Warlords of the Sea system,[10] at one point talking with Smoker and learning how if it were not for the Straw Hat Pirates, the Arabasta Kingdom would have been taken over by the Warlord Crocodile.[16]
Issho defeats Doflamingo's men with Gravito.
Following news breaking out that the Warlord Trafalgar Law and pirate Monkey D. Luffy formed an alliance and Donquixote Doflamingo resigned from the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Fujitora was dispatched to Doflamingo's kingdom of Dressrosa by Fleet Admiral Sakazuki to investigate the affair.[2] Upon arriving at Dressrosa, Fujitora went to a restaurant and played roulette with some men who worked under Doflamingo. The pirates took advantage of the admiral's blindness and lied that the ball was not landing on the colors that he bet on each round, even though Fujitora was right every time. Fujitora was about to go all-in when Luffy intervened and informed him of the Donquixote Family's deception. The goons tried attacking Luffy, and in response Fujitora used his Devil Fruit powers to slam them into the ground and send them plummeting into a giant crater.[26] Fujitora then gave the proprietor a note telling him where he could send a bill for repairs as he headed out, and when Luffy asked him who he was, the Admiral replied that it was best for both of them that he not reveal it.[22] Later, Fujitora attended the gladiator matches at the Corrida Colosseum. At the end of the Block A battle, he decided to head off to Green Bit and ordered for three battleships to arrive to deal with the numerous criminals competing in the Colosseum as well as extra medics to help treat any spectators injured by the fighting.[3]
Fujitora vs. Law vs. Doflamingo.
Fujitora flew a battleship to Green Bit and was heading to the southeast coast on foot when he received a call from Sakazuki revealing that Doflamingo had actually never quit the Seven Warlords, a development that even he was unaware of.[28] Fujitora and his troops arrived at the coast at the same time as Doflamingo and confronted Trafalgar Law, who had Caesar Clown in his possession. Fujitora said that Caesar was exonerated due to being Doflamingo's subordinate but noted he had heard rumors of suspicious activities being committed by the Warlord. He then asked Law if the Straw Hats were his subordinates; Law replied that he had in fact entered in an alliance with the crew, causing Fujitora to revoke his Warlord status and attack the pirate by summoning a giant meteor from space. Law, Doflamingo, and Fujitora himself were caught in the meteor's path, and each of them used their abilities to repel part of it, ultimately ending up standing on small ground formations surrounded by a giant crater.[20]
Fujitora and Doflamingo then worked in tandem to attack Law and they eventually defeated him.[46][43] Fujitora held his sword over Law to bind him with gravity, but when Doflamingo tried squeezing the disembodied heart he took from Law that he thought was Caesar's, one of Fujitora's men cried out in pain instead. Law then used his Devil Fruit ability to create a "ROOM" and switch himself with a rock, allowing him to run away. While Doflamingo chased after Law, Fujitora returned to the battleship he had used to get to Green Bit and piloted it through the air to attack the Straw Hat Pirates that had just arrived on the Thousand Sunny. However, when he summoned a meteor to attack the ship, Law redirected it to damage his battleship instead. Fujitora then decided to head back to Dressrosa, having a feeling that the battle would soon take a turn.[25]
Fujitora intercepts Zoro's attack against Doflamingo.
Upon arriving at Dressrosa, Fujitora was informed of a big fight going on in the town and arrived there to find Doflamingo shooting Law and rendering him unconscious.[53] Roronoa Zoro and Kin'emon then tried to attack Doflamingo, but Fujitora swooped in and blocked Zoro's sword strike. He proceeded to force Zoro down a hole, but still had to counter a flying slash unleashed by the swordsman from there. Fujitora then lifted a piece of the ground he was standing on and rose into the air alongside Doflamingo as the Warlord prepared to leave the area, and Doflamingo told the Admiral to talk with him at his palace.[38] The duo went to Doflamingo's throne room, and the Warlord received an alert that Franky of the Straw Hats was attacking the Toy House.[54] Fujitora had Vice Admiral Bastille take his troops to confront the pirate, telling Doflamingo that he did this to protect his subjects rather than him. He then revealed to Doflamingo his intention of abolishing the Seven Warlords, causing the two of them to briefly clash. However, the tension then cooled as the Admiral said he would turn a blind eye to the Warlord's suspicious behavior for the time being.[10]
Fujitora then went down to the Toy House after Bastille's troops had helped defeat Franky. Right then, however, the toys that had populated Dressrosa were suddenly turned into humans, exposing Doflamingo's tyrannical control over Dressrosa's citizens. Doflamingo then surrounded the whole island in a "Birdcage" made out of strings, which rendered everyone within unable to escape and also cut off communication to the outside world. He then used his "Parasite" technique to take control of random people in Dressrosa and force them to commit uncontrolled violence, and Fujitora used his gravity to subdue the Marines impacted by this attack. Bastille asked if they would be going after Doflamingo, but Fujitora said they would remain pursuing Luffy and Law while working to subdue those under Doflamingo's control.[45] When Vice Admiral Maynard emerged from underneath the Colosseum he too asked why Fujitora was against arresting Doflamingo, and the admiral replied that the World Government should not play God and put an end to suffering that they had created. Luffy, Zoro, and Law then came crashing down from the King's Plateau, and Fujitora stepped up to confront the pirates himself, proceeding to clash again with Zoro.[17] However, Doflamingo's executive officer Pica then formed and inhabited a giant stone golem which he used to attack Luffy, and Fujitora was forced to move away from Pica's powerful attack and became separated from the three pirates.[55]
Fujitora and Sabo clash.
Fujitora and his troops tried heading after Luffy and Law but were quickly stopped by Sabo, the chief of staff of the Revolutionary Army.[56] As Sabo attacked the grunt soldiers and Bastille, Fujitora brought a meteor down. However, the meteor was cut into pieces by the Birdcage, causing it to destroy more of the town than intended, and a sheepish Fujitora was left hoping that no one was harmed. Sabo then confronted him after having beaten Bastille, revealing he was standing in the Marines' way of Luffy because the two of them were sworn brothers. The two of them then clashed, with their powerful attacks resulting in heavy collateral damage.[24] At one point in the fight, Fujitora attacked Sabo with a blast of sideways gravity while brushing off the Revolutionary's questioning of his motives.[36] However, Fujitora later put an end to the fighting, revealing that his and Sabo's goals were aligned but that it was not the Marines' place to be the hero of this country. Fujitora then went to the old King's Plateau, where a crowd of Dressrosa citizens laid prostrate before the country's previous king Riku Doldo III as he expressed confidence in Luffy being able to save them from Doflamingo. Fujitora told the former king that he had placed the same bet, leaving it up to the Straw Hats and their allies to be the country's heroes.[18]
Later, Fujitora left the plateau and reunited with his troops, telling them to gather up the civilians in one place so they could be kept safe.[57] When Zoro cut apart Pica's stone golem above the plateau, Fujitora used his ability to keep the pieces from crashing onto the citizens and move them to a safe area.[58] Later, Doflamingo began constricting the Birdcage, and the pirates and civilians began an attempt to stop it in order to give Luffy enough time to defeat the Warlord. Fujitora approached part of the Birdcage near where Zoro, Kin'emon, and Kanjuro were and joined in their effort, using his Haki-imbued sword to clash against the strings.[50] Fujitora's bet would come to fruition as Luffy successfully defeated Doflamingo before the Birdcage fully closed, causing the contraption to disappear.[59]
Fujitora and the Marines kneel in apology.
Fujitora had his subordinates arrest Doflamingo and his crew but told them not to report to Marine Headquarters yet. He had one of his men film him with a Den Den Mushi as he approached King Riku, and upon reaching the former king, he declared that the World Government was responsible for allowing Doflamingo to reign in tyranny. He then apologized on behalf of the World Government as he and his men prostrated themselves before Doldo, which was broadcast through the Den Den Mushi to neighboring islands as Fujitora intended.[15] He later received a call from Sakazuki reprimanding him for not contacting Headquarters before doing such a thing and responded that they would have had the news tell a different story. Sakazuki argued for the benefit of covering things up in order to maintain the Marines' reputation as a just and capable organization, but Fujitora, disgusted with Sakazuki's perspective, retorted in fury that such a reputation would be a worse disgrace, refusing to give ground to Sakazuki despite his status as Fleet Admiral. Sakazuki, shaking in his anger, then told Fujitora that he would not be allowed on any Marine base until he had captured Luffy and Law, and the Admiral accepted this without complaint.[16]
Luffy punches Fujitora.
When night fell, Fujitora rolled a die to see if he should go after Luffy and Law or not. The die came up showing 1, the lone number that would leave the pirates safe for that day.[60] Fujitora rolled a 1 on the next day as well, and the day after, he was greeted by Inspector General Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru who had arrived at Dressrosa. Fujitora told them what he was doing and gave Tsuru the opportunity to roll the die for that day. Tsuru rolled a 6, causing Fujitora to immediately send his forces after the pirates.[19] Fujitora flew toward the entrance to the eastern port to confront the pirates, and Bartolomeo created a barrier to try and stop him. Fujitora responded by lifting all of the rubble in the country into the sky to use it against the pirates; however, when Luffy came running toward the eastern port, he attacked Fujitora with a desire to fight and defeat the admiral head-on.[61]
The two of them furiously traded blows, but Luffy strangely called out what attacks he would perform in advance. Fujitora confronted him over this, feeling insulted at being treated with pity. Luffy responded that he wanted to give the admiral a fair shot due to not viewing him as a bad person, and this briefly caused Fujitora to break out into laughter. However, he still expressed disappointment and used his fruit power to blast the pirate into the cliff. Luffy was then taken to the port to escape with his comrades, and Fujitora prepared to annihilate them with the floating rubble. However, the Dressrosa citizens then came running toward the port, claiming to the admiral that they wanted to stop the pirates themselves. However, Fujitora could tell from their emotions and whispers that the citizens actually supported the pirates and wanted to save them. He was left impressed by how Luffy had gained the people's respect and lamented his blindness preventing him from seeing what Luffy looked like.[12] Soon afterwards, the Straw Hats' group came under attack by another pirate alliance, but Fujitora then dropped the rubble on their ships while intentionally missing the ships of the Straw Hats' group. Being at peace with this turn of events but hoping to keep it under wraps, Fujitora vocally thanked the Straw Hats for what they had done, but was left aghast after Sengoku revealed that he heard him.[62]
Soon afterward, Fujitora, Sengoku, Tsuru, and their forces set sail on a convoy of battleships to escort Doflamingo to Impel Down. Fujitora said he would wander after finishing the escort and Sengoku said he could likely get out of his punishment by just apologizing to Sakazuki, but Fujitora replied that his pride would not allow it.[27] Not long afterwards, Fujitora's Marine fleet came under attack by Jack of the Beasts Pirates in an attempt to rescue Doflamingo; they eventually defeated the pirate and held onto Doflamingo, though lost two ships in the process.[63]
Kemampuan dan Kekuatan
Zeus jauh lebih kuat daripada homies normal, dibuat dari pecahan jiwa Big Mom sendiri. Hal ini membuat cloud memiliki kemauan yang cukup kuat untuk menahan proyeksi jiwa dari pengguna Yomi Yomi no Mi.[7] Namun, dia masih bisa dirugikan oleh serangan pengguna, seperti yang ditunjukkan saat Brook melepaskan serangan kuat yang memotongnya menjadi dua, meskipun Zeus mampu bertahan karena komposisinya.[8]
Sebagai awan, Zeus dapat terbang, menghasilkan normal dan "hujan manis" (水あめ, Mizuame?),[12] dan menyerang dengan sambaran petir yang kuat,[26] cukup kuat untuk mengalahkan Vinsmoke Judge dalam satu pukulan.[27] Saat menggabungkan kekuatan dengan Prometheus, mereka dapat memanipulasi cuaca untuk menciptakan badai petir yang sangat luas dan merusak.[2][12] Seperti Prometheus, Zeus sebagian besar kebal terhadap serangan fisik karena menjadi awan yang tidak berwujud, bahkan serangan yang dijiwai dengan Busoshoku Haki, hanya mampu menggabungkan kembali tubuhnya. Namun, pelepasan besar-besaran melemahkan Zeus, mengurangi ukurannya sampai dia dapat mengisi ulang dengan mengkonsumsi listrik. Juga telah diperlihatkan bahwa serangan berbasis listrik bekerja dengan baik melawan Zeus karena komposisinya sebagai awan petir; jika seseorang melepaskan energi listrik yang digabungkan dengannya, Zeus dapat dipaksa untuk melepaskan listriknya dengan enggan, hingga melukai tuannya, Big Mom.[8] Serangan Zeus berbasis petir juga berarti karakter tertentu dapat melawannya tanpa banyak masalah, seperti Monkey D. Luffy, yang tubuhnya terbuat dari isolasi karet, dan Brook, yang tidak memiliki daging untuk dirugikan oleh listrik untuk memulai.[28]
Big Mom terbang di atas Zeus.
Dia juga dapat memperluas dan berfungsi sebagai tempat duduk untuk Big Mom, terbuat dari bahan yang lebih padat dan nyata mirip dengan Awan Laut.[7] Zeus juga bisa membawa benda dan orang saat terbang, seperti yang terlihat saat dia membawa Pudding dan Sanji ke tempat pernikahan[29] dan ketika dia membawa Big Mom untuk mengejar Topi Jerami, terbang dengan kecepatan luar biasa, cukup untuk mengejar Topi Jerami, yang memiliki keunggulan yang signifikan, saat membawa Big Mom.[30]
Zeus berubah menjadi gada sebagai bagian dari Clima-Tact Nami.
Setelah jiwanya dipindahkan ke Sihir Clima-Tact, Zeus memperoleh kemampuan yang lebih luas. Dia dapat memanipulasi pelengkap oranye di kedua ujungnya dan membentuknya sesuka hatinya, setelah menunjukkan kemampuan untuk dengan bebas membentuknya menjadi senjata seperti gada. Hal ini membuatnya mirip dengan kemampuan Napoleon dalam memanipulasi bentuk senjata yang mereka huni. Dia juga dapat menghuni fenomena cuaca yang dihasilkan Nami dari Clima-Tact, memungkinkan dia untuk melakukan serangan berbasis petir seperti yang biasa dia lakukan jika Nami menghasilkan awan menggunakan dia. Meskipun Zeus mengklaim bahwa jiwanya tidak dapat meninggalkan Clima-Tact tanpa [[Soru Soru no Mi|kemampuan] Big Mom,[11] dia tampaknya bisa eksis dalam bentuk awan tanpa ditambatkan padanya.[15][16] Tidak jelas apakah dia terbatas pada kisaran tertentu.
Tenman Daijizai Tenjin
Zeus dan Prometheus membantu Linlin muda dalam kegiatan perompakannya.
Zeus diciptakan oleh Charlotte Linlin muda, dan bersama dengan Prometheus, menjadi salah satu senjata utamanya saat dia memulai karir pembajakannya beberapa dekade lalu. Salah satu kegiatan tersebut adalah mereka bertiga merampok sebuah kerajaan untuk mendapatkan permen.[35]
Ketika Urouge menginvasi Totto Land dan mengalahkan Snack, Big Mom menyuruh Zeus dan Prometheus menciptakan badai petir besar untuk membantu Cracker saat dia mengejar dan pergi Urouge.[2]
Zeus menari bersama Big Mom bersama homies lainnya saat dia meminta laporan status persiapan Vinsmoke Sanji dan pernikahan Charlotte Pudding.[1] Selama Big Mom mengamuk di Kota Sweet, Zeus mengatakan kepada Prometheus bahwa sia-sia mencoba berbicara dengannya selama ulahnya, karena dia tidak akan mendengar mereka.[20]
Zeus dan Prometheus menciptakan badai.
Ketika Monkey D. Luffy menginvasi Whole Cake Island dan mengalahkan Cracker, Zeus dan Prometheus menciptakan badai besar hujan manis ketika Pasukan Big Mom menyerang Luffy.[12]
Zeus kemudian kembali ke Chateau Whole Cake, di mana ia membawa Den Den Mushi di punggungnya untuk Big Mom untuk berbicara.[36] Setelah Luffy menantang Big Mom selama panggilan, Zeus bertanya apakah dia akan marah, tetapi dia menjawab bahwa itu tidak penting karena dia terlalu bahagia. Namun, ketika Big Mom marah ketika mendengar bahwa seseorang telah masuk ke Kamar Harta Karun, Zeus menjadi takut.[22]
Big Mom bertempur di Brook dengan Zeus dan Prometheus.
Big Mom masuk ke Kamar Harta Karun dan memanggil Zeus dan Prometheus untuk membantunya bertarung Brook, yang dengan mudah mereka kewalahan.[17] Setelah Brook dikalahkan, Big Mom duduk di Zeus saat dia membelai Topi Jerami.[7] Kemudian, Zeus menemani Big Mom dan Pudding di dalam Kamar Ratu, dan yang terakhir duduk di atas awan sambil berbicara dengan ibunya tentang pernikahan yang akan datang.[37]
Big Mom dan teman-temannya kemudian pergi tidur, tetapi ketika dia tidur, dia melihat dan menampar seekor lalat. Mengira ada penyusup di ruangan itu, Zeus, Prometheus, dan Napoleon bangun dan menyerang tempat di mana Big Mom menepuk lalat sebelum kembali tidur. Kemudian, Zeus melihat Carrot mendekati Big Mom dan menyerangnya, mengira dia adalah lalat.[26]
Pada pagi hari pernikahan, Big Mom menangis sedih ketika kerangka yang dibawanya tidak bergerak (tidak tahu bahwa Brook diganti). Zeus dan Prometheus menghiburnya dengan mengingatkannya tentang pernikahan.[38] Mereka kemudian menemaninya ke tempat pernikahan saat Pesta Teh dimulai.[39] Zeus dan Prometheus merayakan pesta teh, dan ketika saatnya tiba untuk upacara pernikahan dimulai, Zeus membawa Sanji dan Pudding ke venue dengan cangkir teh raksasa.[40]
Ketika Luffy masuk ke tempat pernikahan, Big Mom memanggil Zeus dan Prometheus ke sisinya untuk menyerangnya. Namun, Charlotte Katakuri mencegat Luffy terlebih dahulu.[41]
Zeus menyerang Judge.
Kemudian ketika Keluarga Vinsmoke bertempur melawan Bajak Laut Big Mom untuk memberikan celah bagi kelompok Luffy dan Bege untuk melarikan diri, Zeus akan digunakan untuk menghabisi Reiju setelah Prometheus gagal membunuhnya. Namun, Luffy Gear Ketiga dan Diable Jamble Sanji melawan Zeus pada detik terakhir.[42] Vinsmoke Judge kemudian melangkah untuk melawan Big Mom, dan dia meminta Zeus menggunakan Thunder Bolt untuk menjatuhkan raja Germa.[27] HNamun, Tamatebako jatuh ke kaki Chateau dan meledak, menyebabkan bangunan itu roboh. Big Mom jatuh dari venue, dan Zeus menyandarkannya sebelum dia menyentuh tanah.[43]
Nami menggunakan kekuatan Zeus melawan Big Mom.
Setelah mengidam Big Mom diberitahu oleh Perospero bahwa Topi Jerami memiliki kue pernikahan yang diinginkannya, dia memanggil Zeus, yang dengan cepat menerbangkannya ke lokasi Topi Jerami.[30] Setelah Big Mom meluncurkan serangan pertamanya pada Topi Jerami, Nami merilis beberapa awan ke arah Zeus, yang menyebabkannya membelok keluar tentu saja memakannya sambil menjatuhkan Big Mom ke tanah. Zeus kemudian menyusul King Baum yang melarikan diri dan meminta Nami untuk lebih banyak awan. Nami menawarkan untuk memberi makan lebih banyak jika Zeus menjadi pelayannya sebagai imbalan. Ini membuat Zeus mulai bertanya-tanya apakah harus meninggalkan Big Mom. Ketika Big Mom memerintahkan homies pohon dari Seducing Woods untuk menghentikan Topi Jerami, Zeus mencatat betapa marahnya Big Mom.[44] Terlepas dari perintah Big Mom, Zeus terus dibujuk oleh Nami. Namun, tanpa disadari ia memakan seluruh Telur Cuaca miliknya, menyebabkannya membesar dan menutupi langit saat menjadi badai. Nami kemudian menggunakan Zeus untuk menyerang Big Mom dengan petir besar.[31]
Setelah Zeus kembali ke ukuran normal, Prometheus mencaci maki cloud homie atas tindakannya. Zeus meminta maaf, mengatakan itu tidak bisa menahannya sebelum berkomentar bahwa itu masih menganggap awan Nami lezat.[25] Setelah Big Mom meninggalkan Pulau Whole Cake untuk terus mengejar Topi Jerami, Zeus berada di pantai barat, bertanya-tanya mengapa tidak ada orang di sana.[45]
Zeus dibagi dua oleh Brook.
Kemudian, Zeus dan Prometheus melakukan perjalanan melintasi laut Totto Land untuk bersatu kembali dengan Big Mom. Mereka akhirnya kembali padanya dan mereka pergi untuk menyerang Thousand Sunny.[46] Saat mereka menyerang, Jinbe berhasil menjatuhkan Big Mom dari Sunny, tetapi Zeus menangkapnya. Mereka kembali ke Sunny, dan Zeus dihadiahi awan yang lebih banyak oleh Nami. Namun, Zeus menahan godaan dan menyerangnya, tetapi serangannya menghantam Brook, yang kebal terhadap listrik. Kerangka itu memotong Zeus menjadi dua dan Nami mengirim awan petirnya di antara setengah bagian Zeus, menyebabkannya mengeluarkan sejumlah besar listrik yang menelan Big Mom. Zeus sangat lemah dan tersingkir sebentar, memungkinkan Brook untuk membawanya kembali ke Sunny. Nami kemudian mengancam Zeus, menyatakan bahwa dia akan membunuhnya jika itu tidak berhasil.[8]
Setelah Topi Jerami melarikan diri dari Tanah Totto, Zeus muncul dari Taktik Clima Nami. Ketika Sanji memberi tahu cloud homie bahwa ia adalah pelayan Nami pertama, Zeus mengingatkan Sanji bahwa ia tinggal di dalam Clima-Tact.[47]
Peristiwa berikut ini adalah Non-Canon dan karenanya tidak dianggap sebagai bagian dari cerita Canon.
Dia dipanggil oleh Nami selama pertempuran bajak laut di Festival Bajak Laut melawan Marinir, menyetrum beberapa Marinir dan bajak laut.[48]
Menyimpulkan bagian non-canon.
Di Kastil Orochi di Negeri Wano, Nami dan Shinobu masuk ke ruang perjamuan, dan Nami mengeluarkan Zeus dari Clima-Tact-nya. Dengan Zeus diisi dengan energi badai, Nami membawanya ke shogun Wano Kurozumi Orochi, melepaskan petir besar.[32]
Big Mom mendapatkan kembali Zeus.
Pada hari Festival Kembang Api, Zeus bergabung dengan Topi Jerami di Thousand Sunny saat mereka memasuki pertempuran dengan Bajak Laut Beasts.[14] Ketika dia berada di dekat Prometheus di Onigashima, hal itu menyebabkan staf Nami bereaksi.[49] Saat Prometheus memanggil Big Mom, Zeus melarikan diri bersama Nami dan kelompoknya.[50] Namun, Big Mom berhasil merebut kembali Zeus dan menaklukkan Nami dan Carrot.[51] Setelah dibawa ke Live Stage dan kemudian selama penggerebekan, Big Mom menggunakan kekuatannya untuk mendapatkan kembali kendali dan mengancam akan melenyapkan Zeus jika dia terlalu lunak pada Nami. Saat Nami yang marah menyatakan persahabatannya dengan Zeus berakhir, Brook tiba dan sekali lagi memotong Zeus menjadi dua dengan pedangnya.[9] Big Mom kemudian diusir dari kastil oleh Jinbe dan Robin, dan dia kemudian bentrok dengan Marco. Saat Carrot dan Wanda tiba, Big Mom menggunakan Zeus untuk mundur dari area tersebut dan kembali ke lokasi Kaidou.[52]
Zeus terpisah dan terjebak jauh dari Big Mom.
Ketika Big Mom bergabung dengan Kaidou di atap Kubah Tengkorak, Zeus terisi penuh dengan memakan petir dari langit di atas Onigashima.[53] Selama konfrontasi melawan Luffy, Eustass Kid, Killer, Trafalgar Law, dan Roronoa Zoro, Zeus membawa Big Mom dan memberikan serangan kilat yang menghancurkan pada anggota Generasi Terburuk.[54] Namun, selama pertarungan, Zeus terperangkap di dalam sebuah kotak logam oleh Kid dan Law, mencegahnya menyelamatkan Big Mom saat dia didorong dari atap saat dia mati-matian berusaha untuk keluar.[55][56] Kemudian, ketika serangan Big Mom pada Kid membebaskan Zeus dari kotak logam, dia segera berangkat untuk mencari dan menyelamatkan Big Mom, tetapi diteleportasi ke bawah oleh kemampuan Law.[57] Menangis, Zeus berteriak bahwa dia akan membantu Big Mom. Ketika Sanji menanyakan awan tentang Nami, Zeus terkejut dan terbang lebih cepat.[58]
Jiwa Zeus diekstraksi oleh Big Mom.
Zeus akhirnya menemukan Big Mom setelah dia menyerang Page One di dalam Kubah Tengkorak.[57] Zeus mendekatinya, melihat homie petir baru bernama Hera dan percaya bahwa dia adalah tambahan rombongan mereka. Namun, Big Mom memberitahunya bahwa Hera adalah penggantinya dan bahwa jasanya tidak lagi diperlukan, dan meminta Hera memakan Zeus untuk memakan jiwanya. Zeus kemudian melihat Nami berlari di dekatnya dan memanggilnya, dan meskipun dia tidak memaafkannya, dia memutuskan untuk menebusnya dengan menyerang Big Mom. Namun, Big Mom dengan mudah menangkapnya dan menyedot sebagian besar jiwanya, membuatnya cukup lemah untuk dimakan Hera tanpa perlawanan. Nami melepaskan beberapa bola petir hitam untuk memperkuat Zeus, tetapi dia tidak dapat mengkonsumsinya saat Hera mengunyahnya dan Clima-Tact Nami.[59]
Zeus bergabung dengan Sorcery Clima-Tact milik Nami.
Namun, karena jiwa Zeus keluar dari tubuhnya, ia akhirnya terserap ke dalam Clima-Tact daripada Hera. Setelah sepenuhnya terwujud dalam senjata, Zeus menyapa Nami dan menjelaskan bagaimana dia sampai di sana. Tobiroppo Ulti kemudian tiba, dan saat Nami mencoba menyerangnya dengan Clima-Tact, Zeus menggeser embel-embelnya menjadi gada untuk menyerang kepala Ulti. Nami kemudian menetaskan awan badai dari Telur Cuaca, dan yang mengejutkannya, Zeus menghuni awan itu juga. Nami kemudian meminta Zeus untuk menyerang Ulti dengan Raitei, dan meskipun Ulti melompat keluar dari jalur serangan, Zeus mengubah arah dan terbang ke arahnya, menelannya dalam petir dan membuatnya pingsan.[11] Zeus kemudian muncul dalam bentuk awan dan meskipun Nami telah menolak tawarannya untuk menjadi pelayannya lagi, dia membuat tawaran yang lebih baik untuk menjadi pasangannya dan Zeus, senang dengan berita ini, segera menyerang beberapa anggota Bajak Laut Beasts.[4]
Setelah mendengar Big Mom dikalahkan oleh Eustass Kid dan Trafalgar Law, Zeus mengungkapkan kesedihan hingga Nami menegurnya.[15] Ketika seluruh Kubah Tengkorak mulai dilalap api besar, Chopper bertanya apakah Zeus dapat menggunakan hujan untuk memadamkan api. Namun, Zeus menjawab bahwa apinya sangat besar sehingga dia hanya akan terbakar sendiri.[60] Dia kemudian mengambang di samping Nami dan Tama ketika kemenangan aliansi diumumkan.[16]
Peristiwa berikut ini adalah Non-Canon dan karenanya tidak dianggap sebagai bagian dari cerita Canon.
Dia dipanggil oleh Nami saat terjebak di Dunia Uta untuk membantunya melawan penjaga kuil sementara Topi Jerami mencari informasi di kuil dan kemudian dipanggil lagi untuk melawan Tot Musica.[61]
Menyimpulkan bagian non-canon.
Setelah Topi Jerami mencapai Egghead, Nami, Usopp, Franky, Robin, dan Sanji mengikuti Lilith ke lab Vegapunk, tetapi dia pergi dan grup tersebut diperkenalkan ke Edison, yang memimpin mereka berperang melawan Seraphim S-Shark. Saat mereka melawan Pacifista, Nami mulai mengeluarkan Zeus, berhenti, mendorong Zeus di dalam Clima-tact untuk bertanya pada Nami apa yang salah, dan Nami menyatakan bahwa dia tidak bisa memaksa dirinya untuk menyerang seorang anak, mendorongnya untuk diselamatkan oleh Usopp, dan kemudian Sanji sebagai gantinya.[62]
Kemudian, setelah Luffy dan Topi Jerami yang tersisa menghentikan Seraphim dan CP0 dari menghancurkan seluruh lab, dan semua orang berkumpul kembali dan berencana untuk membawa Vegapunks dan bahkan Stussy bersama mereka, keamanan dan pertahanan Egghead telah menjadi tidak responsif, mencegah mereka pergi, dan Vegapunk utama dan Jewelry Bonney juga hilang. Ketika semua orang terbagi menjadi beberapa kelompok untuk menemukan mereka, serangan yang tidak diketahui pada Pythagoras terjadi dan sistem pengawasan padam, dengan kelompok-kelompok tersebut kemudian diserang sendiri oleh Seraphim, dengan kelompok Nami diserang sekali lagi oleh S-Shark.
Saat S-Shark menjatuhkan kepala Brook dari tubuhnya dan sangat merusak Edison, Nami memutuskan untuk melawan Seraphim, bahkan jika itu adalah anak yang terlihat seperti Jinbe. Dia dengan enggan memanggil Zeus, yang memberitahunya untuk tidak berpikir untuk melawannya dan untuk menutup matanya, melemparkannya ke arah lawannya, dan membiarkan dia melakukan sisanya. Saat dia meminta Zeus menggunakan Raitei untuk menyetrum S-Shark dari dalam, yang tampaknya menyakitinya, dia menangis dan meminta maaf kepada Jinbe. Sayangnya, S-Shark menukik ke tanah tepat saat Brook menyambungkan kembali kepalanya ke lehernya. Zeus terkejut bahwa serangannya tidak berhasil, dan Brook memperingatkan Nami untuk berhati-hati tetapi S-Shark muncul dan menangkapnya, tetapi saat Brook hendak membalas, Sanji menyerang dan mengirim S-Shark terbang dengan marah, bertekad. untuk mengalahkan Seraphim menjadi bubur karena menyakiti Nami.[63]
Dalam salah satu konsep desain awalnya, Zeus dikenal sebagai Angin utara (北風, Kitakaze?), bukan "Awan Petir".[5] Ini bisa berarti bahwa Zeus dan Prometheus pada titik tertentu dimaksudkan untuk merujuk pada salah satu dongeng Aesop, Angin Utara dan Matahari.
Baroque Works Nama Romanisasi: Barokku Wākusu Nama Resmi Inggris: Baroque Works
Baroque Works[2] adalah sindikat kriminal yang dibentuk oleh Panglima Perang Crocodile untuk mengacaukan dan menaklukkan Kerajaan Alabasta (dan, sebagai tambahan, memperoleh senjata super kuno Pluton). Untuk tujuan ini, mereka melakukan banyak tindakan spionase, sabotase, dan pembunuhan selama bertahun-tahun, yang akhirnya memanipulasi Alabasta ke dalam perang saudara.[4][5]
Sementara sindikat sebagian besar menggunakan pemburu bayaran dan tentara bayaran biasa (termotivasi[3] dengan setengah kebenaran bahwa mereka sedang membangun negara baru yang "ideal"), anggota elitnya berisi pejuang dan mata-mata yang sangat terampil. Meskipun mengalami banyak kemunduran, tujuan akhirnya adalah Operasi Utopia[6] hampir berhasil dalam setiap tujuan, dan hanya terhenti tipis oleh usaha gabungan dari Putri Nefertari Vivi, Bajak Laut Topi Jerami, dan satu unit Marinir yang dipimpin oleh Kapten Smoker.
Setelah kegagalan Operasi Utopia, sindikat itu terbongkar dan dibubarkan, dengan Crocodile dan sebagian besar bawahannya—banyak yang dikalahkan secara pribadi oleh Topi Jerami—ditangkap oleh Marinir. Namun, di tahun-tahun berikutnya, banyak dari mereka yang melarikan diri dan terus memengaruhi dunia peristiwa.
Karena tindakan dan peran mereka, mereka secara kolektif adalah antagonis utama dari Alabasta Saga, dengan anggota yang berbeda menjadi fokus dari setiap alur ceritanya (tidak termasuk Arc Pulau Drum). Beberapa mantan anggota juga berperan sebagai protagonis dari Miss Goldenweek's "Operation: Meet Baroque Works" alur cerita, dan karakter pendukung dalam Arc Impel Down dan Arc Marineford.
Meskipun bukan kru bajak laut sesungguhnya (bahkan, banyak anggotanya secara terbuka meremehkan bajak laut), organisasi tersebut mengidentifikasi dirinya dengan Jolly Roger yang khas, yang dibedakan dengan rapier sebagai pengganti tulang bersilang dan latar belakang sayap ungu muda. Simbol ini sering kali dipajang di kapal dan perlengkapan organisasi; beberapa anggota berpangkat rendah bahkan membawanya di pakaian dan/atau tato.
Pada puncaknya, sindikat ini beranggotakan lebih dari 2.000 orang, dengan operasi yang mencakup wilayah Paradise di Grand Line hingga East Blue.[2] Crocodile sangat menegakkan kerahasiaan, dengan sebagian besar (mungkin semua) anggota diberi nama sandi dan sering dilarang berinteraksi dengan personel berpangkat tinggi; identitasnya sendiri dijaga kerahasiaannya setinggi mungkin, dan setiap potensi ancaman segera ditandai untuk dieksekusi.
Sehari-harinya, sebagian besar anggota ditugaskan untuk menggalang dana, khususnya melalui pekerjaan pemburu bayaran. Mereka yang berada di Alabasta terkadang melakukan tugas sabotase yang lebih langsung, misalnya penyelundupan dan penggunaan Dance Powder (sumber kekeringan yang terkenal), merusak kota-kota yang dilanda kekeringan, dan menyebarkan kebohongan untuk menimbulkan kekacauan dan permusuhan di antara warga. Bila memungkinkan, Raja Nefertari Cobra dan para loyalisnya dijebak atas perbuatan ini, yang secara bertahap meletakkan dasar bagi perang saudara penuh.
Anime and Manga Differences[]
Issho in Premier Show 2016.
Vinsmoke Judge and Sora had opposing views as Judge only cared about providing their children with the ability to win battles, so he forced Sora into having surgery that would change their sons' Lineage Factor. Sora did not want their sons to lose their humanity. Even at the risk of her own life, Sora tried all within her power to put an end to Judge's irrational desires. After she died, Judge wanted to abandon her way of doing things since he didn't see any benefit in carrying on a deceased person's legacy.
Sanji was the only one whose strength was the level of a normal human being. Sanji also did not progress despite Judge's efforts to motivate him by strongly reprimanding him and telling him that if he wanted to be powerful, he needed to train a thousand times harder than his brothers. Judge held Sanji responsible for Sora's passing and thought of him as a continual reminder of his late wife's character.
Because of this, Judge let his other sons mistreat Sanji, even going so far as to say that he was under no duty to assist the begging Sanji and that he was a shame. Sanji refused to accept Judge as his father, and Judge admitted that he had never thought of Sanji as a legitimate son.
Reiju displays her love and admiration for her dad, and has earned Judge's trust by receiving critical responsibilities to do. However, she privately despises Judge for his part in her mother's passing and for his vicious behavior. She has been modified by Judge in such a way that she cannot openly defy him, yet she still finds ways to get around him when she can. She despises her father's cruelty to the point that she wants death on both of them for what they made her do, arguing that there is no place in the world for killers.
Judge holds his "beloved" oldest son Ichiji in the highest regard and is pleased to give him command of the Germa 66 soldiers while it carries out its duties. Judge agreed with his eldest son Ichiji when he told Sanji that his behavior was "unroyal" and bringing shame to the family, calling Ichiji's reasoning "flawless." Ironically, as the Vinsmokes were being held by the Big Mom Pirates at gunpoint, Ichiji and his siblings maintained their cool while Judge became anxious.
Even though he has a lot of regard for his second son, Judge nonetheless prevented Niji from hurting Sanji before the wedding. In spite of his intense rage against his younger brother, Niji obeys his father. Niji, laughed it off when the Charlotte Family held them at gunpoint, but Judge responded accusingly that something is wrong with the three brothers when Niji did so.
Ironically, Niji's inability to experience emotions was due to Judge yet Niji expressed some concern for his father despite this. When Big Mom knocked Judge down, he didn't hesitate to run to his rescue.
Due to Yonji's impressive power, Judge shows respect for his youngest son. When Yonji regarded the Charlotte Family was holding them at gunpoint with disinterested eyes, Judge responded accusingly that something was wrong with his son. In his state of anxiety, Judge was unable to recognize that he was to blame for Yonji's inability to experience feeling.
Judge expects the greatest respect from his subjects as the king of his country. The people, who mostly consist of his servants and troops, are devoted to Judge as their king and hold him in the highest regard. Judge views his soldiers as the foundation of the Germa Kingdom, and they submit to his authority. In order to make sure that his army is powerful and successful in his conquest, Judge places great importance on his scientific unit.
Despite their loyalty, Judge shows little to no regard for his subjects as he was more interested in retaking the North Blue than in maintaining his country's ties to the World Government and the benefits that came with them. All of Judge's kingdom's political ties to the World Government have been severed as a result of the aftermath of Whole Cake Island.
Germa 66 is the "true backbone of Germa's might", and Judge expects them to be completely loyal. Judge has little regard for his men and this even applies to his staff members, as when Niji viciously hurt Cosette over a small matter, he did nothing and showed no emotion. He was certain that servants should be used to serve, not the other way around.
As Judge was sticking to his royal standards and did not have interest in the Straw Hat Pirates at first, it changed when Sanji said that he would disown his own family in order to be with his crew angered Judge. Judge was pleased to see that Sanji had broken his "useless bonds" when he was forced to beat down his captain.
He was horrified to see them making trouble at the wedding and guessed that they were there to save Sanji. Before the Vinsmokes join forces with the Straw Hat Pirates and the Fire Tank Pirates, Nami gave him and his children the Vinsmokes' raid suit back. When Judge questioned Luffy on why he put his life in danger to only save Sanji but Luffy didn't respond to him, only thanked him for his help and took off with his crew.
Judge and his children briefly joined the Fire Tank Pirates when Big Mom tricked the Vinsmoke Family. Judge offered to engage the Big Mom Pirates in order to provide Bege and his companions with the opportunity they need to get out of the wedding location.
Caesar Clown, a scientist with the MADS, and Judge were formerly coworkers. Due of Judge's dominating attitude, Caesar hated him. Judge and Caesar put their differences aside and founded a group called NEO MADS after deciding that Vegapunk was the obstacle keeping them from the top place.
The nations of the North Blue are Judge’s enemies. He devoted his entire life to exacting revenge on those nations in order to reestablish his Germa Empire. He united with the Big Mom Pirates in order to acquire the military resources necessary to do this, and when they betrayed him, he sobbed hysterically because he would no longer be able to fulfill his dream to retake the region of the sea that his family previously controlled.
Judge wanted to join forces with Big Mom so that he could easily defeat North Blue with the help of her armies. Judge would put on a nice and courteous front in front of her while wholeheartedly concurring with her that the marriage's main goal was to solidify the partnership. After the wedding, Judge intended to kidnap Pudding to prevent Big Mom from betraying him.
Big Mom also despises Judge and his kids as well. She never planned to marry her favourite daughter, Pudding, into the Vinsmoke Family or to make an alliance with Judge in the first place. Instead, she used the wedding as a pretext to kill Judge and his children and steal their army and technology so she wouldn't have to come to deals with Judge about using them in the future.
Judge was Vegapunk's previous partner and the two made the "Lineage Factor" discovery, which prompted the World Government to pursue them out of fear of the discovery. The two then went their own ways, with Judge managing to escape and continuing the study for his own purposes while Vegapunk was caught and now works by the government. Judge now despises Vegapunks and always saw him as an obstacle to his goal
Judge is aware that Zeff raised Sanji and Judge holds Zeff in low regard. He also threatened to kill Zeff if Sanji didn't comply with his orders because, thanks to his alliance with Big Mom, he knew where Zeff was at all times. He assured Sanji that as long as he complies with his instructions, no one he knows or cares about will be in danger.
Despite the fact that his kingdom was a part of the government, Judge regularly took advantage of his position there. Although Judge cared more about his ambition to retake the North Blue than his political advantages and was more than prepared to give up his rights with the government. The World Government has cut all relations with Judge and the Germa Kingdom as a result of Judge's effort to form an alliance with the Big Mom Pirates
Nasib Anggota Baroque Works
Setelah gagal mewujudkan misinya, Baroque Works resmi dibubarkan dan anggotanya terpisah menjalani petualangannya masing-masing.
Baroque Works adalah salah satu ancaman paling signifikan yang dihadapi Topi Jerami secara keseluruhan di Paradise (dan yang terbesar kedua, hanya dilampaui oleh pasukan Enies Lobby). Meskipun akhirnya dikalahkan, mereka terorganisasi dengan baik dan cukup efektif untuk menciptakan perang saudara skala penuh di salah satu Dua Puluh Kerajaan, dan hampir menemukan Pluton—sebuah senjata super yang sangat sulit dipahami sehingga bahkan badan intelijen paling ambisius milik Pemerintah Dunia telah mengundurkan diri untuk hanya mencari diagram.
Dalam mewujudkan hal ini, bahkan prajurit biasa sindikat itu licik dan terlatih dengan baik—meski tidak terlalu layak bertempur melawan Topi Jerami—secara keseluruhan. Para agen itu berkali-kali lipat lebih kuat, dengan Agen Perwira khususnya berisi delapan pengguna Buah Iblis yang terpisah; yang perlu diperhatikan adalah Tuan 1 dan Tuan 2 Bon Kurei, yang hampir membunuh Roronoa Zoro dan Sanji dalam pertarungan satu lawan satu beberapa kali.
Sebagai komandan lapangan agen, Miss All-Sunday lebih mematikan lagi, memiliki kekuatan Buah Iblis yang dapat memata-matai, melumpuhkan, dan membunuh siapa pun dari jarak berapa pun. Selain itu, dia adalah—dan masih—salah satu individu terakhir yang masih hidup yang mampu membaca Poneglyph, yang secara efektif memberikan sindikat akses yang lebih dekat ke Pluton dan senjata super kuno lainnya daripada kelompok lain mana pun di dunia.
Terakhir, pemimpin sindikat Crocodile masuk dalam jajaran Tujuh Panglima Perang Laut, dengan penguasaan penuh salah satu Buah Iblis terkuat di dunia dan pengalaman seorang veteran Dunia Baru. Khususnya, ia adalah orang pertama yang tidak hanya mengalahkan Monkey D. Luffy dalam pertarungan tunggal tetapi juga melakukannya dalam beberapa pertempuran (prestasi yang hanya bisa disamai oleh Kaidou dari Empat Kaisar).
Organisasi tersebut menggunakan banyak kapal berbeda untuk mengangkut personelnya; khususnya Agen Perwira, diketahui menggunakan kapal yang dipersonalisasi.
Baroque Gustave (バロックギュスターブ号, Barokku Gyusutābu-gō?) adalah kapal milik Crocodile.[14]
Namanya kemungkinan berasal dari Gustave, pemakan manusia yang terkenal Nile crocodile dari Burundi dilaporkan telah membunuh dan memakan lebih dari 300 orang.
Kill Sassoon (キルサスーン号, Kiru Sasūn-gō?) adalah kapal yang digunakan oleh Tuan 1 dan Nona Doublefinger.[15]
Namanya mungkin dimaksudkan sebagai gabungan dari kill dan assassin, merujuk pada kebanggaan keduanya karena menjadi pembunuh profesional.
Swanda Express adalah kapal pribadi milik Tn. 2, yang bertemakan angsa. Beberapa fitur kapal tersebut antara lain: layar berwarna merah muda, roda dayung yang dioperasikan dengan tangan, dan patung angsa.

Later, Ryokugyu came to meet Fujitora with orders from Sakazuki to remove him but had no real intention of doing so. Fujitora talked with Ryokugyu while eating, mentioning Vegapunk's new invention.[21] Just prior to the Levely, Fujitora sent a letter to King Nefertari Cobra of the Arabasta Kingdom and had a meeting with him and Riku Doldo III.[64]

After the Seven Warlords of the Sea system was abolished, a wounded Fujitora talked with Sakazuki in the midst of a battle and voiced his hope that the power balance of the world would tilt to the Marines' favor. However, Sakazuki said the timing was bad due to the formation of an alliance between the Big Mom and Beasts Pirates.[11]

Pop Rock Candy (ポップロックキャンディ号, Poppu Rokku Kyandi-gō?) adalah kapal yang digunakan oleh Tuan 5 dan Nona Valentine.[17]
Namanya merujuk pada Pop Rocks, merek permen yang terkenal karena simulasi "ledakan" dengan gelembung gas karbon dioksida (dan terkenal karena desas-desus yang terus beredar bahwa permen itu dapat menciptakan ledakan sungguhan yang fatal jika dikonsumsi dengan minuman ringan).
Full adalah kapal besar berwarna ungu dan kuning yang menggunakan Dance Powder untuk membuat hujan buatan. Kapal ini memiliki haluan berbentuk buaya dan cerobong asap tinggi di dek depan (yang memiliki patung Jolly Roger karya Baroque di dasarnya).
Keluarga Billion bepergian dengan beberapa kapal dengan berbagai desain, namun, semuanya memiliki nama Baroque Works dan/atau Jolly Roger di layar mereka.
Di akhir Film 2, Tn. 5 dan Nona Valentine terlihat menggunakan perahu yang relatif kecil dengan layar putih dan tanpa lambang Baroque Works. Tidak diketahui apakah perahu yang sama juga digunakan oleh pasangan itu untuk bepergian ke Whisky Peak atau Little Garden.
